Shinzou wo Sasageyo, from Attack on Titan, music by Revo (Linked Horizon), piano arranged by Animenz, played by Richard Yang on Yamaha N1X with Garritan CFX VST.
Before I learned the piece, seeing the name for the first time, I initially thought I was reading: Shinzou (新州, i.e. a place) WOW “Sausage” Yo! Although it turned out not to be “sausage”, this piece was certainly musically tasty. To be honest, I didn’t particularly like this piece until after I recorded it and listened to it over and over, and it became quite addictive. Animenz calls this his Top 20 most difficult. I personally found it was fairly straightforward to learn/play probably because it uses techniques that I’m used to from my classical days, even though the piece sounds nothing like classical music.
As with all of my performances, I have my own interpretation, so the tempo, dynamics, etc may feel quite different from the original recording. Simply put, I play the way I like it.
